Chapter 421: The husband was tied up?
Chapter 421: The husband was tied up?
Nangong Yan seemed unable to bear it at all. Her beautiful face, which was difficult to distinguish between male and female, was full of resentment and sadness:
“Okay, okay!
She is always like this, 'When there is trouble, it's Zhong Wuyan; when there is nothing, it's Xia Yingchun'.
When he needs me, he holds me in his hands with all his heart.
When it is of no use, it is left aside and ignored.
I've had enough of this kind of life!
If you can bear it, then continue to stay with her. I won't accompany you anymore!"
After saying that, Nangong Yan waved his sleeves and walked away angrily, but in the completely opposite direction of Ji Chen.
Jiang Xinbai also snorted coldly:
"Brother Ning, you just got married to her, and the novelty of her hasn't worn off yet, so you can still bear it, right?
Like several others, I really couldn't stand it anymore.
Her heart and eyes are now filled with Brother Shentu, and I don't want to be an eyesore anymore."
As he was speaking, Jiang Xinbai also chose another direction and left on his own.
Ning Luo looked at the different directions that several people went. He didn't follow anyone or chase anyone. Instead, he entered a tent farthest from Chu You and never came out again.
Ye Zhao's city guards saw the conflict between them clearly. As the night grew darker, they made sure that none of them noticed them before drawing a barrier and beginning to assign tasks.
"Sister, they are finally in conflict. We can follow our previous plan and defeat them one by one."
"I've always said that men are so petty, how could they not be jealous? Even if the husbands of the Chu family were all top-notch, they couldn't withstand this. Fires often break out in the backyard, so this is probably a common occurrence."
"Of course not! The husbands in our family have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days, and they even fight from time to time.
It's quite good that the husbands of the Chu family have been able to hold back until this time before causing a conflict."
"Doesn't this give us an opportunity? Big sister, I've lived in the fairy world for two hundred years, and I've never seen such a peerless man. After tying them up, can we..."
"If you want to divide the body, you can take advantage of it."
The eldest sister of the city guard said coldly:
"They are not just the people the city lord specifically requested, but...
You don't need to know too much, just tie them all up!"
"Yes! Sister!"
The crowd quickly split into four groups and headed towards the directions of Ji Chen, Nangong Yan, Jiang Xinbai and Ning Luo.
Not long after, the four unconscious people were caught, and a green pill was stuffed into their mouths. They were then taken away by another team wrapped in black cloaks that appeared out of nowhere.
When Chu You and Shen Tu Yin returned, they found the makeshift camp empty. Before they had time to search around, the elder sister of the city guards hurried over:
"Boss Chu, Master Shentu, something terrible has happened!
We couldn't find you just now, so we searched privately. We didn't fail to find the other four young masters, but we only found their jade slips, and... and..."
"And what? Big sister, why don't you just say it!"
Chu You was extremely anxious.
The younger sister of the city guard elder sister said quickly:
“Moreover, the places where the four young masters’ jade slips were found all showed obvious signs of fighting.
We suspect they were most likely kidnapped by bandits hiding in this area!"
The attendant beside him also explained:
"Master Chu, you don't know that although Shu is under the jurisdiction of our Lingyuan Kingdom, it actually borders both Xingluo Kingdom and Yuheng Kingdom.
Especially in the complex mountain forests, it is difficult for any country to manage them too tightly. They often commit crimes in one area and then run to another.
In addition, the relationship between the three countries has always been delicate, and no legal agreement on mutual assistance and coordination has been signed.
If someone from Lingyuan Country commits a crime and flees to Yuheng Country, the other party has no responsibility to help us capture the fugitive.
Over time, the mountains and forests of our Shu area have become a lawless area.
The bandits who rule the mountains here are all at least at the mid-level immortal level and are unwilling to submit to any force."
"Then why did you bring me here to dig and collect ingredients?"
Chu You suddenly became angry.
The eldest sister of the city guards hurriedly comforted him:
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu. We are only following orders when we bring you here. After all, the economic exchanges between our two countries are extremely important.
Moreover, our Lingyuan country has been governing this area for many years, and there have been no incidents for many years.
"It's unfortunate that you have encountered your husbands today. I'm afraid they are criminals who have escaped from Yuheng or Xingluo. We have sent a distress signal to the city lord. I believe that reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Wait, wait! You'll have to wait yourselves! I'm going to go look for my husbands now!"
Chu You was furious, and his attitude towards Shen Tu Yin was no longer as good as before. He directly ordered:
"You and I will search separately!
If we have any clues, we can contact each other through the jade slips!"
Seeing the two of them searching separately, it was exactly what the Ye family's city guards wanted.
They followed their previous routine and used their familiarity with the weather and terrain in the mountains to prepare to capture Chu You and Shen Tu Yin as well.
Everything was going smoothly on Shentu Yin's side, but when it came to Chu You's side, a person who was familiar with their Ye family's formation routine suddenly appeared and rescued Chu You!
Some of the followers were at a loss:
"Sister, the city lord's order is to hand over everything to those guys. Now that Chu You has escaped, how are we going to explain it when we return?"
The leading sister hesitated for a moment before saying:
“The City Lord only asked us to cooperate as best as we can so that the other side can capture them all in one fell swoop.
No one expected that Chu You actually had helpers.
Moreover, the six of them showed such strong skills in the 'Demon Fairy Trial Competition'. If we hadn't given them drugs that suppressed their cultivation along the way, it would have been impossible for us to succeed so easily.
We have already put in so much effort and handed over all the people to the other party.
They couldn't keep Chu You safe and let him escape, so why should they care about us?"
These followers were not the first time to follow this elder sister out to do things. They immediately understood what she meant and quickly agreed:
"Right, right, right! Chu You and the others were all captured by us and handed over to the other party. We have no idea who escaped or who was rescued afterwards!"
